New Deal for Communities: National Evaluation Main Phase Annual Evaluation Report 2003 NEW DEAL FOR COMMUNITIES: NATIONAL EVALUATION MAIN PHASE ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORT 2003 NEW CROSS GATE NEW DEAL FOR COMMUNITIES PARTNERSHIP, LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM FINAL REPORT Paul Convery, Lisa McCrindle SQW LTD February 2004 EVALUATION OF THE NEW DEAL FOR COMMUNITIES PROGRAMME The evaluation of the New Deal for Communities programme is being undertaken by a consortium of organisations led by the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University. The evaluation has three sets of objectives: • To provide evidence relating to 'what works and why' in neighbourhood regeneration; • To undertake value for money and cost effectiveness assessments of the NDC programme; • To support the 39 Partnerships and the programme as a whole in achieving high standards of performance. Key research task include: • household surveys in all 39 areas in 2002 and 2004; • identifying, collecting and assessing a range of secondary data, including results of the 2001 Census; • analysing outcome indicators against expenditure to estimate net impacts within and across the programme and on specific groups of beneficiaries; • carrying out local context analyses; • an annual programme of interviews with partnership staff, board members and representatives of key stakeholders; • five teams of specialists undertaking case study work focussing on progress in the five key policy areas: health, housing and the physical environment, education, worklessness, crime; • longitudinal case study work in a small number of NDC areas; • a programme of dissemination activities, designed to provide support and information for those involved in policy development and implementation. The initial phase of the evaluation will run until 2005.

As a result of undergoing a period of major transition, the Partnership’s collective sense of direction and optimism has grown. It has weathered a very rough patch and emerged stronger. It has responded to the realisation that previous years’ delivery plans were both over-ambitious and dominated by capital projects that could not be delivered in the planned timescale. The Partnership has implemented a number of changes to strengthen its appraisal, monitoring and financial control systems. It has substantially changed its personnel and now has a well managed and skilled staff team, with a good Board and a supportive local authority. Towards the beginning of the year the Board moved quickly ensure the Partnership could recover from the difficulties experienced in its first 2 years. It took four key decisions that have: fully re-evaluated the flagship capital projects accelerated projects to quickly and clearly meet some of the programme’s theme priorities. established a full staff team led by a permanently appointed Chief Executive re-located its offices into good quality premises in the centre of the NDC area. The programme has now been re-organised into 5 themes, and with cross-theme linkages having been identified, the programme has begun to acquire considerably more coherence. Some capital work has been undertaken to start addressing major environmental problems in the area but, during Year 3, the majority of the NDC’s activity has concentrated on revenue expenditure to meet immediate shortcomings in mainstream public services. The Partnership can take some satisfaction from successful developments that include: A programme of good projects rolled out – particularly the Neighbourhood Wardens, Street Lighting programme, school and youth based events and activities – particularly Community Schools Pupil Support, truancy and advocacy services – environmental improvements, sports and recreational projects designed for youth and for older people. Recruitment of a permanently established staff team of considerable experience and calibre Re-establishment of the 5 theme groups to steer the main programme themes – supported by a cross-theme co-ordination function Launch of a Community Chest fund to support smaller organisations – particularly under-resourced groups aiming to develop more substantive project proposals NDC Evaluation: Annual Evaluation Report for 2003 Page i New Cross Gate New Deal for Communities Partnership More effective working by the Board which has weathered difficult circumstances and has successfully seen the transition from an interim chair to a newly recruited chair Implementation of management and weakness identified by the Accountable Body A very successful Summer event that gave the NDC very high visibility The Partnership’s achievements – organised by theme – are as follows: Raising educational standards Key Issues The NDC has a higher than average proportion of young people but a marked lack of youth facilities and is an area with schools that have variable achievement rates. Adult skill rates are lower than average and the area has a large population whose first language is not English. Outputs The Community Schools Pupil Support project –placing teaching assistants and Community Development Workers in primary schools working with teachers and engaging parental support – has been underway for 18 months and is very popular with the schools and with parents. New services have been started – focussed on truancy and youth advocacy aimed at secondary school pupils, particularly Deptford Green. Mainstreaming The NDC is primarily funding supplementary services in the area’s schools. It has recognised that it has yet to establish a close collaboration with the post-16 educational institutions in the area or with the LSC and LEA that will concentrate additional mainstream services into the area. Intermediate Key stage 1 and 2 results have improved in primary schools although NDC outcomes funded activity will have played only one attributable part in their success. Improving health Key Issues Poor health conditions have been repeatedly identified during the NDC’s lifetime and in the most recent Health Impact

  • New Deal for Communities in Newcastle Upon Tyne
    Conceptualising Regeneration: New Deal for Communities in Newcastle upon Tyne Dr. Lorna Dargan, School of Architecture Planning and Landscape, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU. Email: [email protected]. This paper forms the basis for a presentation at the “Planning Research 2003” conference, Oxford Brookes University, 8-10th April 2003. This paper is a work in progress, and is not to be quoted without the author’s permission. 1.0 Abstract The New Deal for Communities (NDC), is New Labour’s flagship area-based regeneration initiative. It has been hailed by the Government as a distinctively ‘new’ approach to tackling deprivation, which allows local actors the freedom to set their own agenda for regeneration. The paper examines the ways in which local actors involved in an NDC partnership formulate their understandings of regeneration. It finds that ‘regeneration’ is a term that has been taken up and used by local actors who have not considered its meaning in any substantive depth, which calls into question the extent to which New Labour’s approach to regeneration can be genuinely community-led. 1.1 Introduction When the Government came to power in 1997, it did so with the intention of radically reworking the state’s approach to regeneration. The Government’s approach to regeneration has three components. First, it is informed by the broad political priorities of the party, including devolution, joined-up government, welfare reform and ‘community’. Second, the policy discourse surrounding regeneration defines deprivation as structural in origin, but portrays the consequences as affecting only very localised areas.

  • Territorial Stigmatisation and Poor Housing at a London `Sink Estate'
    Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 20–33 DOI: 10.17645/si.v8i1.2395 Article Territorial Stigmatisation and Poor Housing at a London ‘Sink Estate’ Paul Watt Department of Geography, Birkbeck, University of London, London, WC1E 7HX, UK; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 4 August 2019 | Accepted: 9 December 2019 | Published: 27 February 2020 Abstract This article offers a critical assessment of Loic Wacquant’s influential advanced marginality framework with reference to research undertaken on a London public/social housing estate. Following Wacquant, it has become the orthodoxy that one of the major vectors of advanced marginality is territorial stigmatisation and that this particularly affects social housing es- tates, for example via mass media deployment of the ‘sink estate’ label in the UK. This article is based upon a multi-method case study of the Aylesbury estate in south London—an archetypal stigmatised ‘sink estate.’ The article brings together three aspects of residents’ experiences of the Aylesbury estate: territorial stigmatisation and dissolution of place, both of which Wacquant focuses on, and housing conditions which he neglects. The article acknowledges the deprivation and various social problems the Aylesbury residents have faced. It argues, however, that rather than internalising the extensive and intensive media-fuelled territorial stigmatisation of their ‘notorious’ estate, as Wacquant’s analysis implies, residents have largely disregarded, rejected, or actively resisted the notion that they are living in an ‘estate from hell,’ while their sense of place belonging has not dissolved. By contrast, poor housing—in the form of heating breakdowns, leaks, infes- tation, inadequate repairs and maintenance—caused major distress and frustration and was a more important facet of their everyday lives than territorial stigmatisation.

  • Aylesbury NDC Community Health Profile
    Aylesbury NDC Community Health Profile July 2004 Prepared by Christian Castle and Philip Atkinson On behalf of the Public Health Department, Southwark Primary Care Trust Southwark Primary Care Trust: Aylesbury NDC Community Health Profile Executive Summary: Key Facts This report presents the findings of the Community Health Profile for the Aylesbury New Deal for Communities (NDC) Partnership. The partnership is aiming to regenerate the Aylesbury Estate situated in Southwark, south London, with some of the £56.2 million of NDC funds awarded to the partnership in 1999. Key findings for the following subjects were: Demography • There were approximately 8,345 people living on the Aylesbury Estate in 2001. • The population of Faraday Ward (which contains the Aylesbury Estate) has risen by 17% between 1991 (10,559) and 2001 (12,697). • Faraday Ward contains the fifth largest population in Southwark, yet occupies the fourth smallest area (87 hectares). • The Aylesbury Estate contains a younger population than the UK - 75% of Aylesbury Estate is under the age of 45 compared to 60% of the UK population. • Faraday Ward contains a larger proportion of ethnic minorities than both Southwark and the UK. In particular there are a large proportion of people of black (35%, especially African), and Chinese/other origins (5%). • The age distribution of all ethnic groups, including people of black and Chinese origin are similar to both Southwark and the UK. • Faraday Ward contains large numbers of both black and Chinese people, who tend to be young compared to the general population. This leads to a younger population overall compared to Southwark and the UK.

    New Deal for Communities: A Synthesis of New Programme-Wide Evidence 2006-07... Page 1 of 6 LGIU Local Government Information Unit Independent Intelligent Information New Deal for Communities: A Synthesis of New Programme-Wide Evidence 2006-07 (LGIUandSTEER) 26/2/2008 Author: Andrew Jones Reference No: PB 1740/08L This covers: England Overview The New Deal for Communities (NDC) Programme was launched in 1998 with the aim of reducing the gap between 39 deprived neighbourhoods and the rest of the country. In these 39 areas, each on average accommodating about 9,800 people, local NDC partnerships are implementing approved 10 year delivery plans. Each delivery plan has attracted approximately £50m of government funding. The programme is meant to close the gap between the 39 areas and the rest of the country in relation to a range of outcome areas. This is the first report of the evaluation of phase 2 of the programme. The most recent data collected is used to answer three questions: z what changes have occurred in NDC areas? z how have NDC areas performed in comparison with change occurring nationally, locally, and in other deprived neighbourhoods? z what is the most effective way to deliver longer term renewal? The report concludes that NDC partnerships are now working effectively and that NDC areas are improving across a range of indicators. Further, NDC interventions have generated benefits for surrounding areas - there has been a 'positive halo' effect in the areas surrounding NDCs. The most important lesson is that persistence pays: it takes time to engage all agencies fully, and for spending to show impacts.

  • Sustainable Communities in the West Midlands Building for the Future
    Sustainable communities in the West Midlands Building for the future Foreword We are transforming our communities and reversing the legacy of decades of under-investment. We have achieved a great deal, but we need to do more. In some parts of the country there are still areas of acute deprivation where demand for housing has collapsed. In others, demand for housing continues to outstrip supply, leading to rising house prices and shortages of affordable housing. We need a step change in our approach to tackle these problems. We need to work together to build sustainable communities in which people want to live. Central government must play its part, which is why we are changing our approach to housing, regeneration and planning: investing some £22bn England-wide over the next three years. But delivery depends on a change of approach at the local, regional and national levels. That is why we want to move away from the old, top-down policies of the past where decisions were taken for local communities rather than by them. Our focus is on building partnerships for change, providing the regions with the tools and resources to make a difference, and making sure we link what we build and how we build with plans for public services, transport, and jobs. We have already strengthened regional policy and devolved decision- making for economic development and planning. Now, for the first time, we will decentralise housing policy and give the regions a real say in how we invest in our communities. This Regional Action Plan – together with our national document – sets out the policies, resources and partnerships we will put in place John Prescott, MP Deputy Prime Minister for successful, thriving communities in every part of the country.
